CFR Citation: 14 CFR Part 23
NOTICE: RULES
DOCUMENT ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.
SUBJECT CATEGORY: Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation of Structure
DATES: Effective Date: April 11, 2008.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY: This action corrects a paragraph reference that appeared in the final rule, Airworthiness Standards; Airframe Rules Based on European Joint Aviation Requirements, which the FAA published in the Federal Register on February 9, 1996. In that final rule, the FAA inadvertently changed a paragraph reference. The intent of this action is to correct the error in the regulation to ensure the requirement is clear and accurate.
SUMMARY: Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation of Structure,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
On February 9, 1996, the FAA published in the Federal Register (61 FR 5147) a final rule that amended Sec. 23.573(b) by removing the reference ``Sec. 23.571(c)'' and adding the reference ``Sec. 23.571(a)(3)'' in its place. Paragraph (a)(3) of Sec. 23.571 does not exist, and the reference to Sec. 23.571(c) should have remained. This document corrects Sec. 23.573(b) to reflect the correct paragraph reference, Sec. 23.571(c). This correction will not impose any additional requirements.Technical Amendment
This technical amendment will correct Sec. 23.573(b) to properly reference Sec. 23.571(c).
Justification for Immediate Adoption
Because this action corrects an incorrect paragraph reference, the
FAA finds that notice and public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is
unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA finds that good cause exists
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this rule effective upon publication. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 23
Aircraft, Aviation safety, Signs and symbols.

(b) Metallic airframe structure. If the applicant elects to use
Sec. 23.571(c) or Sec. 23.572(a)(3), then the damage tolerance
evaluation must include a determination of the probable locations and
modes of damage due to fatigue, corrosion, or accidental damage. * * * * * * * *
